Episode 6.

Sorry for taking so long

Clara: good afternoon sir, she greeted with her face bowed.

Clement: what happened? You almost got yourself hit.

Clara: I’m so sorry sir, it’s my mistake, She said and attempted to leave.

Clement: wait! I’ll take you back to the company.

Clara: no sir, I don’t work there any more.

Clement: but why, what happened? Don’t tell me you were fired after that incident? Clement said frowning.

Clara: no sir, I left on my own please, I have to go now.

Clement: erm I’m so sorry, it was all my fault.

Clara: why sir? You did what a gentleman could have done, so don’t blame yourself for what happened.

Clement: I know, but you have no job now and it’s all my doing.

Clara: don’t worry sir, I will survive.

Clement: sure you will. I’ll offer you a job, but are you educated?

Clara: no sir, I stopped in secondary.

Clement: what about your parents? I’m sorry I’m asking too much but we can stay somewhere and talk? I mean it’s childish talking on the road. Clara thought about it for a while and gave in to it. Clement drove her to a restaurant and Clara was kind of shy because of her appearance. Clement saw it and tried to calm her nervousness.

Clement: it’s OK, you don’t need to be scared cause I’m here. He said with an assuring smile and she smiled back. They both ordered for something.”so tell me about yourself” he said while he was eating. Clara stopped sipping her drink and looked at him.

Clara: I’m sure you won’t like to hear anything about me because it’s not interesting at all but full of sorrow, she said with a sad face.

Clement: I’m sorry, what about your parents?

Clara: they died. They were involved in a car accident when I was taking my waec.

Clement: oh my God. I forgot I heard you say something like that when victor attempted that rubbish. I’m so sorry, truly I am.

Clara: it’s OK.

Clement: you gat no family?… I mean relations??

Clara heaved and told him about his uncle; Robinson. Clement who always get mad whenever he sees or hears anyone maltreated was not pleased at all.

Clement: the nerves of those people. How can they treat an orphan that way, not only an orphan but his own niece! They need to be arrested and taught a lesson.

Clara: I don’t care if they are arrested, all I care is to see my parents, even for a second again. Her voice cracked and she broke down crying.

Clement felt sorry and got up to console her, “don’t worry, you don’t need to give up now please. Wherever your parents are now, they are all looking down at you. You have a responsibility now to make them proud and don’t forget this; if everyone forsakes you and you feel no one loves you, know that your parents loves you very much and they will never forsake you and God will see you through. Do all you can to embarrass your uncle and make him wrong ok.

Clara: thank you very much sir, she said wiping her face with the handkerchief Clem handed to her. ” no one has ever given me the strength to go on, I’m grateful sir.

Clement: please I’m so uncomfortable when called sir, my name is Clement and you are?

I’m Clara by name.

Clement: wow, the Clara I know is not a cry cry baby, he said laughing.

Clara: oh no, I’m not a cry cry baby sir, she said drying her face more.

Clement: are you sure about that? Don’t tell me that joor, he teased and Clara smiled. “I’m happy to see you smile.

Clara: all thanks to you sir.

Clement: oh not again Clara. If you call me sir again, I’ll call you madam.

Clara laughed out so loud that she felt all the eyes of the people in the restaurant will be on her.” I’m so sorry, it’s kind of difficult now to call you by your name. I hope you’ll give me time.

Clement: no no no there’s no time. Does my name bite or is it not cute?

Clara: I didn’t say that nau, ok ok you win. I’ll try my best to call you.. Erm… What about sir Clement?

Clement: what kind of old man name is that Na?

Clara: opps… You don’t like it?

Clement: no I don’t, he said with a frown while Clara just kept quiet with a timid look.

Clara: ermm I have to go now, thanks for the treat, she said standing up.

Clement: ok, what about me giving you a job?

Clara: no please, I’ll just go around doing my minor job if that will give me peace of mind.

Clement: no don’t tell me that, my dad has a company that deals with wine. If you had a certificate I would have secured a more better position for you, but right now I can ermm.. Clara can you collect fruits from The field to the factory?

Clara just smiled” I can do that, thank you so much.

Clement: I’m so sorry I know you don’t deserve that position but it’s…

Clara: please don’t say that, I’m OK with it so when I’m I starting?

Clement: are you serious?

Clara: yes Na.

Clara: I don’t know how to start thanking you. I gave up already with all hope lost but I’m glad I’ve been given a chance to rise again.

Clement: I’ve done nothing Clara, I just want you to encourage yourself more and never look at things that will discourage you. Look up to tomorrow and remember you have people to make proud, so don’t Fail them. Clara smiled and bid him goodbye and he left.

Clara got in,side and everything that happened when she met Clement replayed, she smiled and laid on the cold floor to rest but she eventually slept off.
